How To Frontside 360 (FS 360 skateboarding)
How To Frontside 360 (FS 360 skateboarding) by Coyote Rob Shreds is a skateboarding tutorial for the Frontside 360. Frames the trick around three concrete fixes for common failure points: setting up and scooping like a frontside big spin instead of just popping and twisting the shoulders, shifting weight onto the front foot during wind-up so it naturally settles onto the back foot for the pivot, and jumping straight up rather than throwing your body into the spin direction.

Key tips
- Get frontside 180, switch backside 180, and frontside big spins solid before attempting this trick
- Set your back foot in the pocket just like a frontside big spin and think scoop, not just a hard pop with all the spin coming from your shoulders
- Press down and scoop the board forward hard, since most of the rotation comes from that scoop rather than shoulder twist alone
- Keep your weight on your front foot as you wind up and pop, it will naturally shift onto your back foot mid-spin, letting you pivot the landing without thinking about it
- Jump straight up instead of throwing your shoulders and body toward the spin direction, which keeps you balanced and centered instead of drifting sideways
- Use your switch backside 180 experience to get comfortable pivoting on your back foot, since that is exactly what rescues an under-rotated landing
